Lighting is a very important component within a supermarket to guarantee an optimal experience for customers and to encourage correct perception of the product on display, highlighting the quality and chromatic truthfulness of the raw materials.
A key aspect in this context is the colour rendering of lighting products expressed with a CRI (Colour Rendering Index) value. The closer this value is to 100, i.e. the maximum color rendering obtained from natural light, the more clearly one is able to perceive the colours and shades of the products, so as to be able to evaluate their quality and freshness. Light with poor colour rendering can alter colours, distorting the actual quality of the products and negatively influencing the customer.
A second crucial aspect for the retail sector is the light distribution of products within the different areas of a store.
Fresh products display areas, such as fruit and vegetables, require bright light to highlight the freshness and quality of the product. On the other hand, checkout areas and corridors must be illuminated comfortably and without glare.
To obtain optimal lighting it is therefore necessary to consider both the color rendering and the light distribution, without neglecting factors such as colour temperature and energy efficiency to guarantee an effective and sustainable lighting environment.
In conclusion, investing in quality lighting is an important step to guarantee the success and satisfaction of customers thanks to the enhancement of the products on display and the comfort of the environments inside the supermarket.
